In case you are planning for making a BAJA roll cage(m-BAJA or E-BAJA), you can consider the option of using AISI 4130 Chromoly steel tubes. They are pretty strong and quite lightweight too. Their specifications are: ASM Material Data Sheet They are pretty difficult to procure in Bangalore, you may have to order it from […]
While AISI 1018 is normally available in many places within India, there are not many manufacturers of chromoly pipes of small thickness. Though few of them may promise to supply it, the properties of those steels vary much with chromoly. Hence as of now it should be a wise option to purchase it from outside […]
Design of roll cage In order to avoid from bending which is more worst then compression and tension, tubes should be arranged to form triangles with the major loads applied at the intersection of tubes. In comparison to straight tubes, bent tubes have more chances to get buckled. It is seen bent tubes are better […]
The Society of Automotive Engineers sponsors the Mini Baja design competition as part of their collegiate design series. The purpose of the event is to have teams of engineering students design, build, and race a prototype of a four-wheel, one passenger, off-road vehicle intended for off-road recreation. North Dakota State University has participated in this […]
